Fleet
Kenmore Air (IATA: M5, ICAO: KEN) is an independent U.S. regional airline established in 1946 and headquartered at Kenmore Air Harbor in Kenmore, Washington. The airline is part of Seattle Hospitality Group and operates a mixed fleet of seaplanes and landplanes, serving the Pacific Northwest region with a distinctive focus on water-based operations.
The airline maintains three operational hubs: Kenmore Air Harbor (the primary seaplane base), Seattle Lake Union, and Boeing Field, plus operations at Paine Field. This network of bases reflects Kenmore Air's unique positioning as both a seaplane and landplane operator, offering access to destinations that larger carriers cannot easily reach.
Kenmore Air's fleet comprises 29 aircraft including Cessna 208 and 172 models, Pilatus PC-12, de Havilland DHC-3 Otter and DHC-2 Beaver floatplanes, Cessna 180, and Piper PA-18 Super Cub. This diverse mix of single and twin-engine aircraft enables the airline to operate flexible regional schedules and scenic flight services across varying terrain and landing conditions.
